Skills

Skills

Customer Service

In order to be successful in anything in life you should always put your customer's happiness as your first priority. Anyone that has something invested in your organization wants to know that you're working your hardest to benefit them in some way. I have worked in retail dealing with consumers since I was fourteen years old, and I'm quite good at it if I say so myself ;)

Effective Money Handling Skills

I have worked as a cashier, in several retail locations, so I am no stranger to handling money. I have also served as the treasurer of my sorority, since being initiated in 2008.

Organizational Skills

I have served as Secretary of the Black Student Association and the National Pan Hellenic Council, so I can effectively take minutes and keep order during meetings. My involvement with my sorority has also put me in many event planning roles, that have helped to develop my organizational skills.

Oral and Written Skills

I have held many positions on many different executive boards in my life. Therefore, I have learned to interact and communicate with many people effectively and professionally express myself. Also, my major in Communication Studies has required me to participate in many speaking and writing intensive courses.

Portfolio

This is my prospectus writing, which is the first half of my senior thesis, that I am currently working on. It includes an introduction of the topic that I am researching, a literature review, a summary of the methodology that Iam using ot collect my own data, and a conclusion.

This is a evaluation form I created during my summer internship at Family Alliance in Lynchburg, VA. Along with this I also created several advertisements using Microsoft Publisher. I have samples of those advertisements, that can be e-mailed upon request.

Crisis Plan

This is a 23 page Crisis Plan I developed during my college career for Nike, Inc. More specifically, the Jordan Brand of Nike. This sample also includes a sample of a press briefing.

Communication Audit

Worked as Director of Communication Flow, with a group of colleagues to develop a successful communication audit of an organization on the campus of Longwood University.
